Finucane McInnes BHU Rudolf Hunt Williams Kaufusi Colquhoun Hazelton Wilton all currently signed and either do or can play in the middle.
Not sure there is a glaring hole there
+ Finau

I'd like to see us sign at least one more lock - just to be on the safe side.

yeah he'd probably be up there, I didn't dip outside the top 30 but he'd have to be one of the next in line for future years.

In terms of locks I also agree, Graham feels like good cover now but if we don't re-sign gets a bit shallower... Billy Mags might enjoy a game off the bench if we were desperate. Maybe Williams could be considered an option, most of his starts have been lock.

Or even more desperate Trindall or Berrell for a quick 'floating forward' stint.
Not sure if there is a prospect in Flegg.

We need a 3rd dedicated lock after Finucane and McInnes ?
I don't know that we want to see 'if I'm not bleeding i'm not working hard enough' McInness playing 80 every week if Dale is out

Doesn't have to be dedicated. Locks are like Pokemon.

Seriously though, to answer bort re: lower grades....

Could be that Slade is worth a look an a dev deal. People say good things about him, and Blake Hosking is usually the Flegg lock. He's really good, but small. He could end up being a smaller Jazz Tevaga type player. Still only 20 though, so has another year of Flegg eligibility.

Parra, south’s and the dolphins all chasing tapau for next year.

Klemmer won’t be at the knights next year also. He is getable. If all of Tolman, Fifita and Wade do leave we need someone with his experience coming in.

Titans are putting together massive coin to try get Ben hunt after November 1st. Dragons only want to sign him for 2 years on around 550k a year. Titans will be offering close to 800k over 3 years.

Dogs recruiters saying they’re not done yet with there signings for next year. Talk about the new sombrero.

Pappal’i does not want to join the tigers next year but they are sticking firm and making him honour his contract due to the club releasing Luciano, tuagli and Garner. If he refuses then they will have to offer a like for like replacement which could mean the eels sending 2 players across to west’s. Shaun Lane and Nathan Brown would be the two they would demand.

Manese Fainu is hopeful of playing this year after his court case is finialised this month. Manly desperate to get him back.

Flanno may join the Titans as an assistant - this will basically have him next in line when Holbrook likely gets the sack next year if they have a poor start.

AOB is treating pressers like job interviews promoting his past associations with successful sides in a lesser role. He's ****ed & I think he knows it. I think Klem will go before him but. Klem maybe Newy's big dog (I dunno their team dynamics) and AOB needs that threat to his authority gone. He seems like a grade A wanker.

Yep that's how he comes across.

Seems to be very arrogant which is funny, the ******** has achieved nothing.
